Ihraam is the special dress for performing Umrah and Hajj. It consists of two white sheets of simple un-tailored cloth. One sheet is to be worn around the waist like Tahband, Dhoti etc. The other is put on the upper part of body upto shoulders. Face and head are NOT covered during Ihraam. During Tawaf, the right shoulder remains bare. It is not covered. Ihraam is put off after Tawaf and Sayee, the completion of Umrah or Hajj.

What is hajj ifraid?
Ifraad is one of the three types of Hajj: Tamattu', Ifraad and Qiraan.In brief description Ifraad means entering ihraam for Hajj only. When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf al-qudoom (tawaaf of arrival) and saa'i for Hajj, but he does not shave or cut his hair and does not exit ihraam, rather he remains in ihraam until he exits ihraam after stoning Jamarat al-'Aqabah on the day of Eid. If he delays the saa'i of Hajj until after the tawaaf of Hajj, there is nothing wrong with that.
What do people wear when they go on a journey to hajj?
Two white sheets of untailored cloth called Ihraam.
Do you have wear ihram for hajj from the place of departure?
When you enter the Miqat-the area declared holy, and only the Muslims can enter that area, you should be in Ihraam. If you fly direct to Jadda airport you should put on Ihraam from the place of departure becuase your plane will circle over that area before landing.
What do you have to take to go to the hajj?
Nothing particular. Two pair Ihraam, a few dresses, and the money required for your stay there.
How many types of hajj are there?
There are three types of Hajj: Tamattu', Ifraad and Qiraan.Tamattu' means entering ihraam for 'Umrahonly during the months of Hajj (the months of Hajjare Shawwaal, Dhu'l-Qi'dah and Dhu'l-Hijjah; see al-Sharh al-Mumti', 7/62). When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf and saa'i for 'Umrah, and shaves his head or cuts his hair, and exits ihraam. Then when the day of al-Tarwiyah, which is the 8th of Dhu'l-Hijjah, comes, he enters ihraam for Hajj only, and does all the actions of Hajj. So Tamattu' involves a complete 'Umrah and a complete Hajj. Ifraad means entering ihraam for Hajj only. When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf al qudoom (tawaaf of arrival) and saa'i for Hajj, but he does not shave or cut his hair and does not exit ihraam, rather he remains in ihraamuntil he exits ihraam after stoning Jamarat al-'Aqabah on the day of Eid. If he delays the saa'i of Hajj until after the tawaaf of Hajj, there is nothing wrong with that.Qiraan means entering ihraam for 'Umrah and Hajj both together. Or entering ihraam for 'Umrah first then including Hajj in that before starting the tawaaf of Hajj. That is done by intending that his tawaaf and saa'i will be for both Hajj and 'Umrah.The actions done in Qiraan are the same as those done in Ifraad, except that the pilgrim doing Qiraan has to offer a hadiy (sacrifice) whereas the pilgrim doing Ifraad does not.The best of these three types of Hajj is Tamattu'. This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) enjoined upon his companions and urged them to do. Even if a person enters ihraam for Qiraan or Ifraad, then it is strongly recommended for him to change his intention to 'Umrah, then complete 'Umrah and exit ihraam, so that he will then be doing Tamattu'. He may do that after doing tawaaf al-qudoom and saa'i - because when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did tawaaf and saa'iduring his Farewell Pilgrimage, and his companions were with him, he told everyone who did not have a sacrificial animal (hadiy) to change his intention and make his ihraamfor 'Umrah and to cut his hair and exit ihraam, and he said, "Were it not that I have brought the hadiy with me, I would do what I have commanded you to do."Source: Islam Q&A http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/31822/
Why do Muslims like to be buried in the clothes they wore to Haaj?
It is believed that during Ihraam,a person is free from sin. He has attained the sweet Will of Almighty Allah. He will definitely go to Jannah.
Why do women take niqaab off when going hajj?
While in Ihraam, no cloth should touch the face of a Haji or a Hajjan (woman). That is why the women take the Naqab away from their face.
what happens at the journey of hajj?
That mostly depends from which place you are travelling to Makka. Anyhow, if you have put on Ihraam (two white sheets of untailored cloth), certain restriction are imposed on you till you perform Umra and put off Ihraam. You cant kill any insect or animal, cant use perfume, kiss your wife, fall foul of anybody, shave your hair, trim your nails, cut any branch of a tree or bush at Makka, etc.
What are the rules of hajj?
Hajj is one of the best acts of worship. It is one of the pillars of Islam with which Allaah sent Muhammad and without which a person's religious commitment is incomplete. Worship cannot bring a person closer to Allaah and cannot be accepted unless it meets two conditions: 1 - Sincerity towards Allaah alone, i.e., it is done to seek the Countenance of Allaah and the Hereafter, and is not done to show off, to enhance one's reputation or for worldly gain. 2 - Following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in word and deed. Following the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) can only be achieving by knowing his Sunnah. Hence the one who wants to worship Allaah by doing any act of worship - Hajj or anything else - has to learn the teachings of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) concerning it, so that his actions will be in accordance with the Sunnah. We will sum up in these few lines the description of Hajj as narrated in the Sunnah. In the answer to question no. 31819 we have already described 'Umrah - please refer to that question also. Types of Hajj There are three types of Hajj: Tamattu', Ifraad and Qiraan. Tamattu' means entering ihraam for 'Umrah only during the months of Hajj (the months of Hajj are Shawwaal, Dhu'l-Qi'dah and Dhu'l-Hijjah; see al-Sharh al-Mumti', 7/62).
